In a press conference today, DeRinna Davis dished about her sophomore album, which she revealed is in the works. "I've been going into the studio this month and I'll be doing a lot more of that over the first bit of 2013 as I get everything perfect. It may take me awhile, but I have a great start."

She also spilled that the album would be titled Woman In Charge. "It's an empowering theme about the strength of a woman, and I really like the title. It came from a lyric in one of my new songs that I'm loving right now. I'm very excited about the project."

"Rookie Mistake," the fourth single from Lasting Impressions impacts Urban radio in mid-January 2013, will serve as the final single from the era as Davis works on her new record.
